That exactly was the problem. For anyone encountering the same issue (I tried to make the headline/title of this thread the description to which Google returns nothing), here is the solution. * DB Cache (see [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/db-cache/faq/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/db-cache/faq/)) not only gets registered among the plugins but it also has files in one’s /wp- content directory — files that are not being updated when WordPress 3.0.x is installed, for obvious reasons. So disabling the plugin is not enough (I did try to find solutions around caching before, but didn’t imagine that going beyond disabling and clearing of cache would be required). * Notice that in order to reinstall DB Cache fully, one needs to do the following: * > How do I uninstall DB Cache? > 1. Disable it at Settings->DB Cache page. The plugin will automatically delete > all cache files. If something went wrong – delete /wp-content/db.php, /wp-content/ > db-config.php and /wp-content/tmp folder. While db.php file exists WordPress > will use our optimized DB class instead of own. > 2. Deactivate it at plugins > page. * Basically, that’s the source of the problem I had. In my searching for a solution I have read in some other sites that other caching plguins caused similar issues, but the solutions to these issues were different. * Thanks again Peter for an excellent piece of advice! * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [WordPress 3.0 database upgrade timeout](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-30-database-upgrade-timeout/) * [schestowitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schestowitz/) * (@schestowitz) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-30-database-upgrade-timeout/#post-1568003) * I am having the same issue trying to get about a half-a-gig database upgraded for WordPress 3.0. The suggestion made above seems to address issues of file download limits, not database size (which perhaps leads to PHP timing out). Any other suggestions? * Forum: [Requests and Feedback](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/requests-and-feedback/) In reply to: [WP 2.0.2 Update Coming?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-202-update-coming/) * [schestowitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schestowitz/) * (@schestowitz) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-202-update-coming/page/2/#post-347372) * Directory listing, which in turn exposes plug-in names, is never being linked to. Thus, it will not be indexed by search engines and flawed plug-ins will not be easily discoverable. * You could trivially scan many blogs using a script in attempts to find vulnerabilities. PHP-Nuke, Advanced Guestbook and Coppermine are notorious in that respect. * All in all, getting a list of plug-ins may be a convenient way for learning the blog’s composition. If you target a particular vulnerability (due to third-party code), it gives the hacker no advantage. That, marke1, is why your argument and its ludicrous, overstated backing are void. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Question marks after a period and two spaces. (2.0)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-marks-after-a-period-and-two-spaces-20/) * [schestowitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schestowitz/) * (@schestowitz) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-marks-after-a-period-and-two-spaces-20/#post-304215) * That’s odd. I can’t seem to reproduce it. Perhaps some more tests and example are worth quoting, or else a bug report cannot be filed (let alone a bug be assumed). * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Editing how my blog displays quotes.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-how-my-blog-displays-quotes/) * [schestowitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schestowitz/) * (@schestowitz) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-how-my-blog-displays-quotes/#post-304214) * It seems like a dark shade of grey with an abnormal (depracated?) respresentation type of color. I suggest you use the following tool: * [http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/tools/color-blend/](http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/tools/color-blend/) * It is more than is necessary, but just replace rgb(51,51,51); with e.g. #515151; or pick a better colour using the colour blender of Eric Meyer. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Can’t log in to my dashboard.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-log-in-to-my-dashboard/) * [schestowitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schestowitz/) * (@schestowitz) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-log-in-to-my-dashboard/#post-301616) * Okay, so the options are narrowed down. It is very unlikely that emptying your cookies and cache have anything to do with this issue. WordPress would not lock itself due to many consecutive unsuccessful attempts either (this was discussed among developers recently). Have you considered backing up your data, reinstalling and then restoring the data. I haven’t other ideas to suggest and it doesn’t appear as though others can suggest something either. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [got no password during install](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/got-no-password-during-install/) * [schestowitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schestowitz/) * (@schestowitz) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/got-no-password-during-install/#post-305345) * I suggest that as a last resort you either contact the host for help with E-mail or simply re-install WordPress and restore all the data. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [After installation, comment counts are all (0)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-installation-comment-counts-are-all-0/) * [schestowitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schestowitz/) * (@schestowitz) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-installation-comment-counts-are-all-0/#post-304212) * I believe it’s being worked on and has maybe been resolved already. I should only point out that several people resolved the problem by disabling SpamKarma or upgrading to version 2.1 (of SpamKarma, not WordPress). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [PHP](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-2/) * [schestowitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schestowitz/) * (@schestowitz) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-2/#post-304211) * [@candleofhope](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candleofhope/): have a look at [http://trac.wordpress.org/file/trunk/index.php](http://trac.wordpress.org/file/trunk/index.php). All the code is generally there * [@simmer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simmer/): some people have Safe Mode enables because of the policies of the host. It’s a bugger, I know. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Are registered users e-mailed about new posts?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/are-registered-users-e-mailed-about-new-posts/) * [schestowitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schestowitz/) * (@schestowitz) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/are-registered-users-e-mailed-about-new-posts/#post-304866) * Also consider making use of RSSFWD ( [http://www.rssfwd.com/rssfwd](http://www.rssfwd.com/rssfwd)). Skippy’s solution is more elegant though… and does not rely on subscription through a third party. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Can I change the path where the themes are?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-change-the-path-where-the-themes-are/) * [schestowitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schestowitz/) * (@schestowitz) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-change-the-path-where-the-themes-are/#post-304863) * You can use symbolic (or more probably hard) links to ‘fool’ WordPress into thinking it has a copy of the themes in each blog directory, when in facts all point to a central themes repository. I suspect, however, that you will need shell access to your home directory to do this. It’s not trivial. Best wishes… remember that themes are rather small in terms of size anyway. Duplication is not a major thing. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Adding Meta Tags/Increasing Traffic](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-meta-tagsincreasing-traffic/) * [schestowitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schestowitz/) * (@schestowitz) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-meta-tagsincreasing-traffic/#post-304854) * Meta tags are ignored by search engines,a apart from description in the front page. They were more useful in the 90’s, before spamming, so do not expect extra traffic. Regardless: * [http://dougal.gunters.org/blog/2004/06/17/my-first-wordpress-plugin-headmeta](http://dougal.gunters.org/blog/2004/06/17/my-first-wordpress-plugin-headmeta) * Hope this helps… * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [got no password during install](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/got-no-password-during-install/) * [schestowitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schestowitz/) * (@schestowitz) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/got-no-password-during-install/#post-304851) * Why does it not help? Have you not got access to phpmyadmin? Can you not sent the E-mail to your address? If so, * * Either contact your host so as to receive an E-mail * * Or reinstall WordPress having backed up your MySQL database *fully*. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Change “Blog address (URI)” in WP 2.0 – No more emails](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-blog-address-uri-in-wp-20-no-more-emails/) * [schestowitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schestowitz/) * (@schestowitz) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-blog-address-uri-in-wp-20-no-more-emails/#post-304849) * My guess would be that when E-mails are sent from a subsite (community.meetjustin) they might get filtered in one way or another, at some stage or another. What happens if you try a variation of the name (a test address, that is)? One which is not a subsite? It might help identify a pattern and thus the root of the problem. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [How to put comments in monthly archives](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-put-comments-in-monthly-archives/) * [schestowitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schestowitz/) * (@schestowitz) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-put-comments-in-monthly-archives/#post-304844) * Depending on the number of comments, this may be practical and even useful to a few visitors. However, with *truncated* comments, the practicality becomes questionable. To make this possible you will probably need to write a plug-in of your own. With many comments being a possibility, heavy query volume might follow, so the idea should maybe be binned… best wishes though and good luck. * PS – depending on the nature of site content, I guess this can be valuable nonetheless.
